2 years ago, I was teaching and knew I was going to lose my job (yay AZ budget cuts! ) so I handed in my resume at the 3 LQS but they didn't have any openings. No big deal, I got a job as a secretary, spent lots of time in the quilt shops anyway, life was good. Then in August, I got my teaching job back, yay. Less time to hand out in the quilt shops, but more money. On Weds, at one of the LQS, they do a bee from 12:30 to 3:30. On Weds, classes end at 1:35 so we can have our teacher professional development time. On days where it's personal time, I get to go hang out at the shop for about an hour or so. I went in today, hung out, talked to everyone. My friend works there (who actually got me the teaching job when she retired) and we usually chat when the store's slow. And since I feel weird being idly while she's working, I usually help folding fat quarters and such. So today, we're chatting and out of the blue, the owner says "hey, do you want to work here this summer?" and I said "yes. Huh?" and she explained that they were losing someone and with summer vacations, she was concerned about being shorthanded, so needed someone for the summer and then Saturdays when I go back to school. To which I said yes! She's going to sit down with me next week and we'll figure out a schedule and training times and whatnot, but OMG, I get to work at a quilt shop! I said to my friend, loudly, "I knew if I worked here enough, eventually I'd get hired!" So yay!!!!!!!! And the goal is to leave every other week with a paycheck, rather than having to pay them because of all the fabric I took :D

LOL... I worked at one for about 2 months many many years ago. I had to quit because 2 weeks in a row, I owed them money.

Hope you don't do that and have fun for the summer.
